I dont know about you but my $1,000 a month ACA premiums in my forced retirement is not affordable. Go ahead & let me pay for Medicare if you are going to force us to retire early (layoff).

When buying a house is unattainable and jobs are disappearing, it's no surprise young people think they can’t succeed, especially young men.
It's not their fault. It’s Washington’s fault for allowing the middle class to be hollowed out just to make rich people richer.

AI is already driving up your electric bill.
It could soon control every aspect of your life — and put you out of a job.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

The time has come for Europe to keep the US at arms length and build their defense industry up to be a juggernaut of deterrence and strength. We have failed the free world and it’s time for us Americans to admit it and consider alternatives for keeping the world free. Otherwise, all will be lost.
